Death on a Serving Board
Death on a Serving Board: A Charcuterie Shop Mystery | J. C. Eaton
1 post | 1 read
It's tough to teach the art of charcuterie with bodies piling up at your doorstep Just as burgeoning charcuterie entrepreneur, Katie Aubrey, gets ready to teach a charcuterie class for a handful of adults, the body of a retired investigative reporter is found behind her sandwich shop and the gift store next door. The reporter had broken the story about a gold heist in the 80s, but has been out of the limelight for years. Until now. And while Katie tries to conduct business as usual, rumors abound. To make matters worse, the adults in her class are as backbiting and obnoxious as possible, including one gentleman who tries to strongarm Katie and her business neighbor into relinquishing their leases so he can start an internet café. Tempers flare and the unexpected happens - the man is found dead behind Katie's shop, and all fingers point to Katie. It doesn't help that the other occupant in Katie's house, the ghostly spirit of food critic, Edith Ellory, decides to find out who the real murderer is, compelling Katie to take the helm for fear Edith will mess things up and send her to the Fourth Avenue Jail for the next decade.

Katie‘s attempts at hosting a charcuterie board design class at her shop get hopelessly complicated when a dead body turns up behind her store.

This was cute & I feel like I actually learned about charcuterie boards. Katie was a fun MC, & the ghostly element added something new. But this suffered from way too many characters that all sounded too similar. & the addition of a historical heist kind of distracted from the main murder. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

julieclair Sounds like there was too much going on in this one. But the idea of a free charcuterie class while reading it sounds nice! 3mo
